Chapter 22: Infamaity
Mira was crying into Jason's chest as she held him tightly, like he would disappear if she let go. She pulled back a few seconds later and put her hands on his face to make sure he was really there before a relieved smile spread across her face.
"I saw the news, and I thought you were gone. What would I have done without you?"
Jason shook his head.
"I'm not going anywhere, mum. I'm right here. Come on, stop crying. You're too beautiful to cry."
Mira felt a laugh escape her lips. She tried cleaning her eyes as her smile spread wider before she suddenly went limp in Jason's hands. Jason's brow furrowed, and fear filled his heart as he shook his mother slightly.
"Mum...? Mum!"
"Mr. Jason, wait! Hold on, she only passed out!"
The doctor quickly stopped Jason from shaking his mother too much. The doctor was surprised that it took this long for Mira to pass out. After the fall she had, she was supposed to have passed out a long time ago.
Jason looked into the doctor's eyes to make sure that he wasn't lying, and he listened quietly until he heard his mother's heart beating steadily before he released a relieved sigh.
Jason lay his mother down on the bed gently before he turned to the doctor.
"What happened to her?"
